Tesla has now 1.3 billion miles of Autopilot data going into its new self-driving program

As new vehicles are coming off the assembly in Fremont right now, Tesla is making the transition from its first generation Autopilot hardware to its second generation hardware in order to gradually enable level 3 and 4 autonomous driving, and eventually fully self-driving capability, according to the automaker.

Electrek has learned that Tesla has now accumulated 1.3 billion miles of Autopilot data from its first generation sensor suite and “nearly all of it” is useful to the second generation Autopilot, according to the company. more…

The gap between Tesla and everyone else isn't going to shrink...it is going to expand...fast!

...in my humble opinion of course.

Yes, and it will take a while before anybody else has this amount of growing critical mass looking at current projections of carmakers planning to establish self-driving capabilities in high volume platforms (>100k/year)!! Truly amazing lead by T≡SLA!!
